A flurry of application activity is underway to round out the year with several developments lodged in late-2021.
From luxury three-bedroom units a short walk away from the beach to two-bedroom apartments on the main street of Buderim, here are five developments that could be coming to your local area in 2022:
60 Memorial Ave, Maroochydore
The Maroochydore proposal is for six “penthouse-sized” units over six storeys that would be built on 607sq m of land.
The site contains an existing house but subject to council approval will become six three-bedroom apartments.
Developer Stephen Cole said he felt there was a niche market for one unit per floor apartments in the area of Maroochydore and Cotton Tree.
“We live in Cotton Tree and like the area so we just felt it would work there,” Mr Cole said.
“A lot of the locals have expressed interest in it.”
Mr Cole said if the application is approved by council, construction will hopefully commence by mid-2022.
“There’s been a lot of units being built in the area and sold off the plans so we just thought it may work,” he said.
The units will each contain an ensuite, a combined kitchen, dining and living area, study and family room and a separate powder room.
A laundry is provided for each unit, with a small outdoor drying area.
The apartments will be located within walking distance to the Maroochydore CBD, Cotton Tree Esplanade and the Sunshine Plaza.
The site is also highly accessible by public transport and will have 12 car spaces for residents and two visitor spaces.
The proposal was submitted on December 2 on behalf of Cole Projects Qld Pty Ltd, directed by Stephen Cole.
50 Edmund Street, Kings Beach
The Kings Beach proposal is for a 12-unit, seven storey development on 797sq m of land, with each unit containing three bedrooms.
If the application is successful the apartment block will provide diverse housing options through the inclusion of lifts in some of the units.
Each unit will contain three bedrooms
Level six has a penthouse suite with three bedrooms, an ensuite, kitchen, bathroom, laundry, living room, media room, dining room and a private deck.
The basement level contains 26 car parks and one motorcycle park, private storage, refuse storage, services with pedestrian access to the floors above via stairs and a lift that connects all levels.
The development application was submitted on November 25 on behalf of Pinter Constructions, directed by Guiliano Pinter.
51 King St, Buderim
This Buderim proposal is for three new units to be added to an existing three units to make a six-unit block located on the town’s main street.
